Chelsea stopped from selling tickets and club shop closed as Roman Abramovich sanctioned

Chelsea are no longer able to sell matchday tickets and their club shop has been closed now that Roman Abramovich has been hit with sanctions by the UK government.

The Blues have been given a sporting licence to continue trading while Abramovich's assets are frozen, but the Russian billionaire will no longer be able to sell the club unless it can be proven he will not personally benefit from the proceeds.

Chelsea season-ticket holders will still be able to attend matches following the news.
